Transcended as Lord Buggy

Enel attacks Buggy first with a lightning bolt that he produces from his right hand. He has just eaten his devil fruit 3 weeks ago. So he doesn't have many techniques and his mastery is still low.

Buggy deflects the lightning bolt with his right hand again. It stings his hand a little, but it's not hurt at all. The sting feels more like an electric massage to him.

"Is that all? The same technique won't work on me," asks Buggy while smirking.

"That's just a test," says Enel.

Enel transforms his body into lightning and flashes to Buggy. He sends a lightning punch at Buggy but gets evaded easily. Enel then starts to attack Buggy at close range, but Buggy can evade everything, making Enel widens his eyes in surprise.

"You can use Mantra?" asks Enel.

"Mantra, huh? The name is different, but it's the same thing. So I guess I can use it," says Buggy calmly.

Enel is surprised to know that someone from Blue Sea can use Mantra. He has met some Blue Sea People, but none of them can use Mantra. Those people are usually rookies that have just entered Grandline, so they don't even know about haki.

"Hmph, even if you can use Mantra, you'll still lose," says Enel confidently.

"Oho? Why is that?" asks Buggy.

"Because you can't touch me," says Enel as he strikes Buggy again.

"Are you sure about that?" asks Buggy while evading Enel's attacks.

Buggy keeps evading Enel's attacks easily even though Enel is very fast because of his lightning power. But his speed still can't surpass Buggy's Observation Haki that has been trained to a high level.

His failed attacks make Enel frustrated as it is the first time he gets toyed like this, especially after he has his ability. He can see that Buggy isn't serious even though he has used all his power.

Enel suddenly jumps back a few meters and hits one of the drums on his back. Lightning currents come out of the drum and move to his hands. Then he raised both of his hands at Buggy.

"KITEN!" says Enel as he shoots the lightning on his hands.

The lightning that Enel shot transforms into a lightning wolf that moves toward Buggy. Buggy grins and gets into a karate punching stance with his right hand.

Buggy's right hand then gets split into a few segments with small gaps. He covers his right hand with colorless haki and waits for the wolf to get closer.

"Buggy's Karate: Fist of The North Star!"

Buggy sends a very strong and fast punch towards the lightning wolf. The punch's power increased a lot because he used his devil fruit's levitation power to boost his punch. His punch hits the air and it creates a booming sound.

*BOOM*

A shockwave appears from his punch and it pushes the air in front of him like a cannon. The shockwave moves forward and hits the lightning wolf. It destroys the lightning wolf without any resistance.

"WHAT?!" says Enel in surprise as his 'Kiten' gets destroyed easily.

"Sigh, it's still not strong enough and the range is still small. I need to train my punch more," says Buggy with a disappointed tone.

Enel is dumbfounded when he hears what Buggy said. That punch destroyed his Kiten easily and Buggy still said that it's not strong enough.

'No, he must be bluffing to make me get wary of him,' thinks Enel while shaking his head.

What Enel doesn't know is that Buggy said the truth. His punch isn't strong enough, it's still far from his expectation. This level of strength isn't enough for him.

His current target is Kaido, someone who will get the title of 'Strongest Creature'. This level of power won't be able to hurt that beast. Even Oden can't defeat the current Kaido with his super strength.

Also, Oden can use Advanced Armament Haki and still can't defeat Kaido. Buggy has tried to Advanced his Armament Haki, but he hasn't succeeded. He has found the problem though, a strong opponent.

To raise his Armament to an Advanced Level, he needs a strong opponent that will force him to use all his strength. He hasn't found such an opponent since he fought with Garp. But he has someone to put his hopes on, Shanks.

'He should be strong enough to make me exert all my strength and trigger my haki to reach Advanced Level,' thinks Buggy.

In a year, Buggy will need to fight Kaido before Oden gets killed. He still has time, so he's not in a rush. But the faster he upgrades his haki, the higher his winning chance will be as his mastery will be higher too.

Buggy leaves that thought and looks at Enel again. The lightning man looks very serious now after his Kiten got destroyed. Now he knows that Buggy isn't as simple as he thought.

'Hmm, he is still not used to his devil fruit's ability. His mastery is still low and he still can't make big attacks like in the series. Well, he said that it's just a few weeks since he got his ability, so it's not strange. Then I need to finish this because prolonging this fight will be useless,' thinks Buggy.

Buggy decides to finish this fight right now. He's just about to rush at Enel when the latter suddenly does something. Enel hits all the drums on his back and spread his hands & feet. Strong lightning currents come out of the drums and cover his whole body.

"Sky's Rage!" says Enel as the lightning currents on his body shoot everywhere.

The lightning currents that Enel released spread everywhere. But then, they move to Buggy's location at high speed. They move through the cloud ground and destroy the cloud that they passed.

Buggy is rather surprised because he doesn't remember that Enel has this technique. But it's not strange because this is 19 years before Enel's appearance in the series. His techniques and usage of devil fruit's ability must've been different too.

The lightning current moves toward him, but Buggy doesn't move at all. He wants to try taking the lightning and test their power after evading them from the beginning. He is confident that he can take these lightning currents with his body.

*ZAP ZAP CRACKLE*

*BOOM BOOM*

Buggy grins as he gets hit by the lightning currents. The lightning currents run through his body and electrocute him. His muscles tensed and his whole body feels hot. It's hurt, but it's still bearable and he can hold it.

As he gets electrocuted, Buggy can feel all his nerves are activated and connected. His heart beats faster and makes his blood gets pumped faster. He can feel his metabolism runs faster and his cells work at a higher rate.

Instead of damaging Buggy, Enel's lightning is enhancing his body's work. Every living being has weak electricity that runs through their body. But the body has its limit of the energy that it can hold.

Enel's lightning attack is strong enough to surpass that limit on normal humans. But Buggy's body is strong enough to take this level of lightning. That's why instead of damaging Buggy's body, Enel's lightning is enhancing its function.

'Hmm? This is,' thinks Buggy with a shocked expression.

Buggy senses something in his body that surprised him. With all his nerves activated and connected, he can feel his whole body and all its cells. There's something that happens in his body, and he likes it.

This makes Buggy smile widely and thinks, 'Thanks for your help, Enel.'

Buggy appreciates Enel's help, but that doesn't mean he'll stop the fight. With lightning currents still running on his body, Buggy rushes to Enel. He runs very fast and arrived in front of Enel who has gotten tired already after using that technique.

"You still have a long way to go," says Buggy while grinning and sending a punch at Enel.

Enel can sense where the punch will land using his Mantra. But he is too tired to move because he has spent all his energy for that last attack. Even so, he is still confident that Buggy won't be able to touch him.

His confidence doesn't end well though, as Buggy's punch hit his stomach. Enel gets his stomach caved in and he exhale a lot of air. He flings back and crashes to many trees before stopping.

Enel falls on the ground with his eyes rolled to the back. He has fainted right after Buggy's punch hit his stomach. The current Enel is still far below Buggy's current level.
